COAL IN SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS.

Larned ChronoscoDe-
There is no longer any doubt that fields
of coal In inexhaustible quantities and OF
superior quality exist In southwestern
Kansas. The work of development on
Peppard's ranch, about sixty miles south
OF Larned. has been progressing with
very gratifying results since mention was
first made of the discovery in the Chron-
oscope. The Greensburg Republican
says that this coal burns readily and
leaves perfectly white ashes. with no
cGnkers or hard cinders-resembling
and in every respect equal TO the
Canon City coal, whose equal had, pre-
vious to this discovery. never been
found in the west.
The only fault ever found with west
ern Kansas as an eligible location for
factories was the high price of fuel.
With this obstacle removed. as 1t now is
beyond all question. there is DO reason
why several of the principle towns IN
this part of the state should not attract
the attention of the manufacturers of all
goods whose raw material is produced
here

WICHITA AND THE BONDS.

To the voters of Wichita:
Let us carry the bonds! Next Satur-
day the question of issuing two hundred
thousand dollars of county bonds for
court house and Jail purposes is to be de-
cided by the legal voters of the county.
Our present court house and jail and sur
roundings speak for themselves. What
will Wichita 90: The county seat of the
wealthiest and most populous county in
the state. with enterprise that has poured
out hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the advancement of her varied interests,
bound by unity that no selfish interest
has been able to shake. a city that always
does the right thing at the right time,
must speak for herself next Saturday.
We should vote the bonds The county
is wealthy. not heavily i'll debt, is amply
able to do all that is proposed and more,
and in the past seventeen years has done
almost nothing FOR Wichita in the way of
public buildings. The county now pro-
poses to do something for us, and shall
we not make the most of our opportun-
ity:
The opposition, that it appears we are
to have III the county. is unwarranted.
We believe there is no good reason for
it, and we believe the time has come to
make the proposed Improvements in our
city. We therefore call upon you as tax
payers, as business men. as citizens of
Wichita in general, all of whom we
know have the best interests of our city
at heart. to stand shoulder to shoulder

PRICES BEFORE THE WAR.
A farmer Of Burr Oak. Indiana. j

A farmer Of Burr Oak. Indiana, has
been having a dispute with a Democrat
neighbor about the prices paid for wheat
between the years 1880 anG 1871. and the
prices of calico and sugar before the war
This Democrat claims that he sold wheat
within that period for y per bushel. and
bought calico for cents per yard. and
the best New Orleans sugar for = cents
per pound before the war. The Burr
Oak man writes to the Chicago Inter
Ocean to give figures and settla the dis
ptte. That paper replies editOrially as
follows:
New York gave the highest prices for
wheat in the thirty years indicated and It
was only in 1885. 1879. 1884, and 1901. 1870
and 1856 that wheat was worth - and
over in tie extreme eastern seaport.
Now. in 50. - and ,, there were no
railways ana few canals: transportation
of wheat from beyond the AIleghanies

that while wheat stood as high as =. -

markets In the years indicated the
average price of raw sugar was over Is
